COVID-19 and Tennis

His multiple public appearances during his ‘convalescence’ don’t appear to support his infection ‘story’. Oh of course unless he didn’t care about spreading it around to heaps of other people….. cough of course.

If the Government are smart, at least pull up the Serbian and UAE isolation guidelines for positive tests, d'oh?! Since it appears he tested positive in Serbia and was waiting in Dubai to travel to Oz. Compare against his Twitter posts. Also find out how long tests were taking to return results. There is an embassy there, no?!
 
Maybe he was asymptomatic with little or no need for convalescence. 🤔

😂 But ignoring isolation or mask wearing so to spread the virus even further? Oh wait - of course he doesn’t believe in the virus. But still got a test and caught it. So complicated keeping track…

It seems like history is hurriedly rewritten to me. But are we surprised?

Justice may be served by time… we can but hope..
The very devious joker is relying on a big bang resolution, but there may arise (surprise surprise) significant legal questions that (drum roll) take some considerable time to resolve.
This out come probably suits the legal eagles (fees) , the government(s) (face) , TA (moving on without the court side booing ) and most of the populace ( street justice )
 
Oh the irony. As someone who is anti-vax and does not believe in the virus, this is probably the first time Novax has isolated and he is doing so by choice.

Still believe that positive test on December 15 is above board?
One would have thought:
- if symptomatic test: isolating until result
- if result known: isolate for 7 days.
Perhaps it might be an asymptomatic close contact test - lol

But then again not sure of the Serbian rules.
 
They seem to think Novak a god, so im sure any Serbian iso rules didnt apply to him.

- Asymptomatic and don’t know you have tested +ve Covid is inconsistent with a defence of “I have positive PCR on 16/12 “ or thereabouts
- Asymptomatic and do know you have positive PCR on 16/12 usually means isolate for x period of time in interests of public health (or whatever the local rules are)- not crowdsource acolytes as close contacts
- there are probably other perms and coms that could explain events which we will hear about tomorrow

Hope the medical panel are ready for the ticket refunds which will be coming in
 
You were quoting @jakeseven7 who was talking about a disregard for infecting others during his 'convalescence' which given his words, means infectious period.
There is no direct reference to isolation in the quote.
His multiple public appearances during his ‘convalescence’ don’t appear to support his infection ‘story’. ...
I was referring to convalescence and the possibility of there not being any. I never referred to infectiousness or isolation.
 
A few paragraphs containing information and opinion that I had not heard before


As Victorian political journalist Paul Sakkal explained on the No Challenges Remaining podcast: “They (Border Force officials) asked a series of questions about what documentation he had to prove that he had a Covid infection in the past six months, which doctors supported it and which other medical authorities were backing his claim.

“He only had one doctor supporting his claim and many of his documents had Tennis Australia letterhead on them. So he had very little – what you’d describe as original documentation – from practitioners around the world to substantiate his claim.”

Sakkal added: “It was unclear whether he actually had a laboratory result proving that he had Covid in the last six months.”

...

Partner at Thomson Geer Lawyers, Justin Quill, told Today on Friday: “I suspect what’s going to happen is – and I suspect not so much because he is going to win his case, but that it is going to be found that there needs (to be) more time, and he will be allowed to stay in the country, compete in the Australian Open, and then the lawyers will argue about this in the weeks and months to follow.

“It will be a bit of an irrelevant case at that stage, but I suspect that’s probably where we are going to land with this.

“The imposition on Djokovic not being allowed to compete is arguably greater than the imposition on the Minister for Home Affairs. So, I suspect the court is going to land there and say, ‘I’m going to allow you to stay in the country while we sort this out over the following weeks and months’.”
